UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy defended the Prime Minister's wife's choice of clothes paid for by a Labour donor saying:
This is not a transparency issue. It's actually the prime minister seeking to comply with the rules.
All the clothing purchased is made from opaque fabrics which are in line with UK legislation that prevents MP's wives (or husbands) wearing "inappropriate garments".
According to Sky News:
This year, Sir Keir has received - and disclosed - nearly £19,000 worth of work clothes and several pairs of glasses from Lord Alli, the former chairman of online fashion retailer Asos, The Times reported.
In addition, the peer, whose personal wealth is estimated at £200m, spent £20,000 on accommodation for the now prime minister during the election and a similar sum on "private office" costs, which was also disclosed, the paper said.
Former Australian MP Bill "The Bung" Heslop told FNN:
What's all the fuss about? When I was an MP I got $5000 worth of 'budgie shorts' aka lunch-packs and a crate of sun tan lotion from a "lady donor". It's all part of the job.
Starmer is lucky. All Boris Johnson got was some wallpaper and a slab of Ukrainian Salo.
Hey Muriel! Fetch me a tinnie. I'm parched.
